[@Liminally_ill]

@SandiandBodiandI Bodi Wow what a grinch lol. When people quote the video it's a way to connect with others. When you are in the same place watching the video you hear the other person laugh, so no need to explain which part you liked. When you are not, though, what you can do is quote the part you liked so that people can relate and say "I liked that exact part as well". It's a way to connect with others and "watch the video together". No need to be mean when someone quotes a video, they are doing it in good faith.

[@SlicedSlappy]

The Carbanaro Effect is a prime example of how easy it is to sell or market a product by using words just outside a person's knowledge. It seems plausible, your brain takes a short cut and believes it because your ego gets in the way. It's happened to you before, you've bought tons of products that don't really do what they claim but you believe it and the placebo effect takes hold.

I really like this show but at 2:36 u cant see the holes in the box..suddenly at 3:06 the box has changed orientation 90 degrees and u can see the holes and someone inside it. All this happens in 30 secs without the delivery guy's knowledge. Hmm...

[@AceAngelTTV]

Where the hell do you see someone inside it? And I assume they just cut out the part where they moved it, they cut these way down.

[@ikuep]

There's an explanation for every illusion he does, but that's not really the point of the show. It's all about the reactions, and his hilarious BS explanations.

[@brentstack3267]

Jaden oldfield, I laughed so hard when I read your comment ,where the hell do you see someone inside it 🤣. Good catch to them, 3:08 there’s a slight flicker left side of right hole. Probably a person, I still don’t know how

[@austinstidham1465]

Brent Stack Hahaha much agreed! I didn’t think that putting a person inside would be doable or even easier than some other way of adding weight.

[@dirtdiv3r]

After playing that part back at .25x speed, I don't believe it's actually a person. That beige part that shows up is actually the wooden floor behind michael that becomes visible when he moves his right leg, and you can see as he moves his left leg forward, the gap closes in complete synchronization meaning Michael probably opened up his side to weigh it down at some point.

[@spacemanspiff6332]

One never knows where Michael will be seen next and what outrageous explanation will be offered for his next trick. I'm addicted. I suppose if one person wore both gloves they could probably lift the Empire State building lol.

[@crewrangergaming9582]

I can totally figure out how this was done. There's probably a magnet in the floor that's pulling on some metal inside the box, that is why Michael moved it to such a specific location.

[@chester6514]

It was already heavy. He moved it there so it could be switched out while the dude was distracted putting gloves on.

[@JamesAutoDude]

​@@chester6514 yeah but that doesn't explain how they lifted it after it was in the new area and it was still heavy

don't wanna say this is fake, but at 3:05 the box has shifted 90 degrees from the place they put it... so something's off...

[@WadeWilson-]

lol I would think they exchanged the box without him knowing it, but since it's right on his face... it would be impossible.

[@Kineticboy2K1]

I believe it's a version of "The Light Heavy Box" that Penn & Teller did. Pretty old magic trick these days too so someone as talented as Michael could easily pull this off stealthily. The box being moved is just that. They moved it presumably to get a better shot with the victim or something and could have easily explained to the guy that he wanted it a little closer to where he wants to open it, whatever. Then that bit of footage was lost on the cutting room floor. No tomfoolery, no actors, just as you said, good magic.

[@douchymcdouche169]

@@stephenkamenar That doesn't prove it's fake. Those scenes are actually much longer in full and they make a lot of cuts in editing to shorten them down. Why has the box so blatantly moved? Maybe because during the deleted scenes the black guy wanted to lift it again and we never saw it? People who say the show is fake are just too dumb to catch how the actual trick is done. I figured out this heavy box trick and it doesn't need a fake actor, just some distraction and an assistant or two :)
